About the Beach
What is Praia das Fontainhas Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Lagoa.
Praia das Fontainhas Beach presents a small sand with the shape of a seashell.
It's located in a narrow cove flanked by the two cliff's opposite ends which seem to have been sawn by human hands because of their geometrical appearance.
Sea waters are calm and limpid.
The way down to the beach is guaranteed by a dirt trail through the cliff.

10/ 10Siempre he frecuentado esa playa, que es ótima en agosto cuando otras están llenas, y nunca he tenido problemas. Hace más de 20 años que la frecuento, este mismo més he estado alli, volveré en septiembre, y todo perfecto. Nunca había escuchado que había robos y, cuanto a multas, me parece muy bien que las apliquen, no es sitio para acampadas, en especial por gente que ensucia todo y deja por allí sus excrementos y basuras. Mi propia hija, que fue socorrista en una playa al lado, ha llamado más que una vez la policia para multar a esa gente, a la que le gusta disfrutar de la naturaleza, pero no dejarla limpia. Si la playa ha estado sucia es porque la ensucian, no hay nada más que hacer que limpiarla, una vez que no es vigilada. Criticar es fácil! Siempre que voy llevo una bolsa para la basura y recojo igualmente la que otros dejan. Si todos hicieramos eso, sería perfecto. Asi que, muy bien, a quien no le guste la playa que no vaya y nos la deje, agradecemos mucho!Sandra Belbut Gonçalves 2024-08-23 15:21
